I've literally been looking for this song my whole life. I remember hearing this when I was 3 or 4 years old and the lyrics have been stuck in my head ever since. I finally found out who did this song just now.
I grew up 6 hours east in Idaho. They played this song on the radio station there too. Super cool a regional group was on the radar without the help of the internet. Great song!
I just heard this song played 3 times in a dogfart movie called Iron Heart on Rifftrax. I probably jammed to this back in the day, I was around 25 or so when it came out and I was a mulletted dance-dork too.
My daughter just sent this to me and we are the in-laws to Larry Bell R.I.P (Rest In Peace King)! I'm so happy to see people still Remember them. My kid's still know and call JMack (Uncle Jimmy) And Cousin Cookie (The youngster male of the group at 16)❤
I remember this back in the day in Portland. I had a bf back then n he was like that's my cousin I was like yeah right n he took me to they house n I got to chill with the U-krew. Great memories. Thx Kevin

Seattle fan here. Shellie Hart used to play this in the early 2000s on the Kube 93 old school lunch. Sometimes I would tape the show when I stayed home sick during middle or high school. One of those tapes made it so I could add this song to my playlists.
Me too!! I’m thinking circa 1989-1990 I kept trying to find it as well -I’m sure if I heard the name of the band I might possibly remember. I was watching Tv & someone said “If You Were Mine” and I was YESSS that’s it!! Only if you mine! Back when music was awesome!! The New Jack Swinggg!! R&B w/some hip hop-then the scene changed to pop county & grunge. I’ve been upset ever since!!!
This shit is so dope!!!...I'm from Portland...This is still the joint!!! I remember my mom and I beating this around Southeast in her little chevy sprint. I'm glad y'all made this...brings back memories...I got my kids on this now!!! no joke!! Big up to the U-Krew !!! This song is the soundtrack to Portland city life in the nineties. When Portland was Portland!!!
I never knew this was sang by U Krew... As the Artist name was not written back in those Audio cassettes and CD player days as most were just titled as collection! 😅😢 IM HAPPY BUT SAD TOO.. Because I've been trying to find out this song again for 31 years with my childhood friend as we still remember the 1st 2 lines of the starting song.... But Im sad to found this tonight again because the person who I try to findout with had died 4 years back... 😢😢😢 But I keep the promise to find it out tonight and I knew he will also knew that I had found it out as he's watching over me... Omg I miss him.. 😢 But this is somehow happiness and same time solitude... 😊
I’m an ole’ Midwest country boy that grew up in the 80’s & used to listen to this song in my Walkman, while working my summer job at the Country Club!!
I pulled this CD out today. Yes, I love having the hard copy. This takes me back to my NkoTB bedroom and big bangs and making a dance routine ❤ I am so proud/happy that I am a gen x. I wish I could time travel for even one day❤
1989-1990. I lived in Nebraska. Had the cassette single and played this and the different mixes nonstop in my car. Found a vinyl version of the single mixes about a year ago, and purchased immediately. It's just a great song.
Hell yeah. I remember it coming out in 89" or 90" and my aunt had just bought her 89 Accord. Thought I was the shit cruising with my aunt to this cassette single. Lol. Good day's.
you guys should of got more recognition for this song, i heard this 2 times when i was 8 on the radio and it stuck, took me 20+ years to find out who you guys were.
OOOH MY SHIT...way back in time...i was 12 when i heard this song in a clubscene from a movie...i recorded on tape from the tv hahahaha....i loved it...MAn this was a time i never forget..the girls the weather the sun the music the clothesi love the 80's...i am from HOLLAND.ll...peace
New sub 👍🏼 Shared this with my bestie. My goodness, at how much time has passed 📻📺 Timeless with one helluva guitar solo 🎸 Good memories of hanging out at the park, or at friends houses, dancing 💃🕺👯 🎶 Have an awesome year. 🙂
I still have this 12" vinyl Bought it @ Real Groovy Record store - Auckland,New Zealand 1989 Great track but unfortunately it was the only song of theirs that I had.. I bought 2 records that day.. This one & The Together Brothers "Movin on up" Thanks for the memories when Digging in the Krates was a full-time job... Alofas uso's
This was a great time for Seattle and Portland. Cities in the PNW that had the Sonics and the Blazers. 90s can't be beat. A time when Seattle and Portland were still relatively low key. Now, they've just gone to shit. 🤦♂️ I would love to relive the 90s again.
how about naf studios in West Seattle for raves and dancing at the Omni in Kent or Buzzys on Broadway in Everett and the Oz by Seattle Center. the 90s clubs were lit 7 days a week and no cell phones!!
Larry Bell your talent lives on through those that you touched. This was my favorite rap song, I was 12 when you and the Krew were at the family bqq and I did my own version of if you were mine. I had the whole family laughing. Thank You for all the memories. Love and Peace to you and the entire family:)
Thanks for posting. Brings back great memories of my youth. I remember staying up late to wait for this vid to come on the TBS channel. Gets me amped every time I hear it.
I had this cassette when I was like 12 and used to listen and dream bout my lil boy crush… then I lost it and it’s been stuck in my head for years. Finally found it here and still like the song but found my cheeks getting rosy hot of embarrassment (I do not embarrass easy) after watching this video and their clothes and dance moves. (Almost like watching Corey Feldman perform on Good Morning America his song “Go for it” and him copying Michael Jackson’s dance moves… I was embarrassed for him… if you haven’t seen it… we’ll, you know) But what can I say, this was what it was like at the turn of the ‘90’s… I miss it!🥺
yes i was a close friend of larrys his death blows me away too if you remember the portland band NU SHOOZ my older brother was there bass player larry was a close friend of the family larry and my sister were in 4th grade together
I just got done playing this 12" single, singing and rapping every word... I know it by heart! I loved this song back in `90! I was a mobile DJ in a remote area of northwestern California, and this was just the jam, man... You guys were SERIOUSLY slept on! I have another of your 12"s down in the basement somewhere, I need to go down and find that. There was real talent here, no doubt about it! Thank you for posting this! Oh, I like the B-side, too, "Rock That Shit." lol
I thought everyone 4got about these guys. I've been tryin to track down this joint for the longest. Thanks for postin it! I'm doin the Roger Rabbit as we speak! LMFAO!!!!
I had taped this video off BET & missed who did it. FINALLY. found it on "songs by lyrics on Lyrster" puttin' in words from the song. Good website for finding favorites.
I used to dig this song so much! I dated a black stripper at a club for a bit... Yeah he took me around the world quite a few times! 😆 hey.. Can't help it, this song gets to me! 😂💋💜

Being a teen in Portland, this song was all the rage. It defines everything from that late 80's/early 90's transition.

This song wasn’t regional, we listened to it all the way down in Texas

Had this on a Casette Single... Love it!

One of the most underrated groups of all time.
If you can listen to this song and manage to sit still, you're not alive. Awesome tune.
REMINDS ME OF WHEN I WAS ABOUT 16 OR SO SUCH AN UNDERATTED SONG MISS THOSE DAYS
I pulled this CD out today. Yes, I love having the hard copy.
This takes me back to my NkoTB bedroom and big bangs and making a dance routine ❤ I am so proud/happy that I am a gen x. I wish I could time travel for even one day❤

For some reason one of those songs that stick in your mind for many years
I first heard this jam rolling with my older brother! Brings back some great memories rolling in his T Top Cutlass!
Hell yeah. I remember it coming out in 89" or 90" and my aunt had just bought her 89 Accord. Thought I was the shit cruising with my aunt to this cassette single. Lol. Good day's.

Still have the tape single. Great track. When song made you want to dance.
I remember this from the Iron Heart soundtrack. I was always more of a B martial arts fan than an R&B fan, but this track was really catchy.
